    There was a smell like mold that I did not like.

    Hostel is close to everything.

    Staff not helpful, we requested to have ground floor room as my friend has knee issue but was not given. The stairs is quite steep. We arrived the place early as we had early morning flight but not allowed to check in early. While waiting for our room, we wanted to use the toilet but was not allowed.

    Location was good, nearby subway station

    Disappointing

    Staff was very unresponsive - the heater was broken and I had to spend my nights freezing. Thank God it was only a short trip so I didn't have to suffer for long. But I messaged directly here on Booking.com and Whatsapp and never received any assistance.

    The location is tricky for cabs to find since it's inside an alley. If you want to get picked up, you must go out to the main road, which can be slightly inconvenient.

    Backpacker like hostel/motel in central Seoul location - a good choice for a short stay.

    It's one of those no staff places... when you need a staff member - no one is around. They have whatsap number but if you don't have a smart phone - no contact is possible.

    My 2nd time staying here - like the location.. liked the hostel like atmosphere. I stayed in the dorm room - place was busy with travellers from around the world. Place had basic cooking facilities... good toilet / shower area. Very good location - not far from city centre. It's a little hard to find but it's hidden location makes it a quieter place as well.

    ABSOLUTELY DO NOT STAY HERE, MY WORST EXPERIENCE IN ANY ACCOMODATION EVER

    On my first night when I entered the room it smelled like a literal rotten corpse and it was 40 c inside. The beds are incredibly small and uncomfortable that is barely enough for a 180cm guy like me to lie down straight. No power outlets next to the beds, the kitchen counter has 20 cracks and the microwave doesn't work. I saw a roach once(this was in February). The whole room is a repurposed reception room that even has a small window where people would knock in the middle of the night. There are many exposed wires and switches that control god knows what. The bathroom is full of black mold, they clean the toilet and the sink but not much else because it's everywhere on the floor and the bathroom shelf. There is no hair dryer and for the first 4-5 days no shampoo or shower gel either. There is absolutely zero security. The front door lock doesn't work, meaning anyone can walk in. There is no CCTV. This is especially bad because the surrounding area is a sketchy place full of homeless people. There is no staff at the guesthouse except a cleaner who comes once a day for a couple hours, they are part timers who don't care about much and can be quite rude and unhelpful. But the single biggest issue and a quite traumatic experience was the LITERAL CRAZY HOBO ROOMMATE I HAD TO SHARE A ROOM WITH! He was incredibly stinky and dirty and had these delusions of grandeur I cannot even write down here!! I felt incredibly unsafe and when he moved out I felt relieved but two days later HE BROKE INTO THE ROOM, WOKE ME UP AND THREATENED TO BEAT ME!! I had to call the police and I tried reaching out to the owner but he was allegedly sleeping (1 pm btw). When I talked to the owner I straight away told him that this guy tried to assault me, he didn't take me seriously. Finally he promised they will change the room door code.The hobo intended to stay more which allegedly won't happen but who knows.I stayed 9 days of my 11 and got a 50% refund and an apology.

    Stairs are a bit narrow.. liquid bathsoap was almost empty but they provided kundal bar soap. Front door though is not locked so i guess some may question security but korea is super safe so i guess its fine.

    Its not uphill and a stone away from DDM station and shops. Room has floor heaters and bathroom is quite big.

    Room smelled badly of sewage/toilet, Air conditioner was broken and dripped water, the room looked nothing like the photos, Bedframe was broken, Bed was uncomfortable (just a box mattress with a fitted sheet on top, Sink was broken and wobbly, Toilet paper dispenser was broken and had been fixed with tape, Walls were incredibly thin so it was hard to sleep, Door rattled every time someone else opened a door, Air conditioner rattled loudly, “Flat screen TV” only played korean cable tv with no way to use netflix or connect the TV to a phone, Bug screens on windows had holes that were stuffed with toilet paper, “kitchen” was just a microwave and hot water dispenser, graffiti on the wall (someone wrote “Hi”), Towels were too small, Floor was sticky and sank down when stepped on in some places, Shower took a very long time to warm up. There was also evidence of mold.

    Close to the station.
